The Yahoo Group Eurotraders, which is basically the main means of group communication for Deadheads in Europe, is 4 years old on December 24th 2003.
The membership currently stands at 678 and the place is thriving. I started the list in '99 basically to establish a trading network here in the UK (with a view to spreading out to Europe too) and it's grown from there. Through the list, I've met many of the members in person and made several friends along the way. It remains the coolest, downright nicest group of it's type. Thanks to everyone who continues to make it work...

Oh and, er Happy Christmas too ;-)

It's that time of year again, when deadheads party the New Year in over two nights of musical excitement. This year The Dead are accompanied by special guest stars The Funk Brothers, and Robert Hunter.
Are YOU going to these shows ?
Why not post a journal of your trip here, in this very blog for all to see ?
(It's as easy as sending a web-based email) If you're interested, please

Do you have any photos of Jerry ?
JerryGarcia.com are inviting people with good quality, previously unreleased photos to come forward.

If your photo ends up being used, you'd get royalties too, so perhaps it's time to start digging around in the attic...

I've been recreating the dead gallery in between bouts of Christmas shopping and inspirational flashes of DIY handyman workmanship.
I've also created some snazzy links to the most recent posts via the Deadboard, which show up on the index page of the site.
I'm still looking for interested parties to contribute to the content of this "BLOG". You could write about anything vaguely related to the main subject matter - the good ole grateful dead....

The Dead Gallery was once a well visited part of this site until recently. Ambitiously, the Gallery housed hundreds, probably thousands of GD related pics. It started at 'A', and ran through to 'P', never to get any further before we lost the site as it once stood. In an attempt to present something different I have begun to reconstruct the gallery starting from Z and working backwards.... Have fun ;-)

String Cheese Incident - Live at the Fillmore (2003)
The String Cheese Incident has garnered a reputation as one of today’s best live acts. Live at the Fillmore captures one of the band’s epic home-state performances from start to finish. Recorded March 23, 2002 at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver, Colorado, the 2-disc DVD set features over 3 hours of MX Multiangle footage of the quintet performing such fan favorites as "Rivertrance," "Rollover," and "Land's End." The 16-song set list is offered up in bold Dolby 5.1 Surround and DTS 5.1 Surround sound (mixed at Skywalker Sound) and features special guest appearances by Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kruetzmann & bluegrass legend Ricky Skaggs. Plus, avid fans will appreciate the "Red Lady Ball" bonus footage.
